Recently turned 20 and am still younger than the average person that likes what is often called a childrens' show. If I was 5 or 8 now, I probably would have never watched this, because "Ponies? Ew." In hindsight, it's negatively amazing how close-minded children often are and easily get away with it for years.

According to a 2011 study on the subject, the average Brony is 21 years old.

So he would have been born in 1990, meaning he was 8 years old, the target audience of Pokemon when it became popular in 1998. Pokemon was the in thing 1998, all the "cool" guys played Pokemon cards. (This is the reason Pokemon has older fans.) But the previous generations of MLP had never reached that level.

Why would these same people get into MLP now?

That's semi-accurate seeing I just turned 20 today.

And I think the same people are just now getting into MLP because the appeal of FiM is different form the 90s MLP. Lauren Faust's goal was to challenge the show's "girly" appearance and she basically did well-developed character and a more adventurous and action-packed story. The pilot episodes are an example of that. If you told me at 8 years old that I would watch My Little Pony in 10 years, I'd laugh in your face. But if you told me I would still like Pokemon in 10 years, I'd probably believe you more. It's just the fact that MLP's demographic is young girls and Pokemon is generally a show for guys.

I came to visit! Ha! Ha! Sorry for my absence, I've been so busy with life, trying to find work... dealing with life issues.

So, how are all you doing? Well, I take it?

eep, Yoshi! I haven't seen you around in forever! >: I thought you were pretty much gone for good at one point so I took you off my PC Family list in my signature. ;_; Sorry for the super slow reply; I've been forgetting to check the club.

I've been pretty good, my last final is tomorrow and then I'll be free from class for the summer. Feels strange with no MLP to watch every Saturday though, lol.

Wow... Took my a while to find this gemstone thread. I guess I'm no Rarity after all.

- Favorite Episode: Season 2 Episode 3. I lol'ed so hard at Twilight. xD
- Favorite Main Pony: Fluttershy... Dunno why, but I like her. o.O
- Favorite Side Pony: Big Mac. I love his 'Eeyup' and 'Nnope'
- About Me: My youngest brother was watching MLP and at first I find it childish, but after he noticed me, he asked me if I want to watch the first episode. Meh, what the hay, I have nothing to do anyway, so yeah. It may be childish, but I like the story and the approach. So, I BLAME my brother for making me a brony. xD

Favorite Episode: Don't know, haven't watched the series yetFavorite Main Pony: Rarity (with Rainbow Dash a close second)Favorite Side Pony: Derpy Hooves (She's funny!)About Me: I had a My Little Pony toy a few years back and even though I've never watched the show, I have seen several scenes from it and I think the ponies are cute. DeviantArt got me into liking My Little Pony.

WATCH ITTTT. : DD
It's pretty good for what it is. xD;
Well, welcome to the club, Nichole! Enjoy your time here. : >
The club is pretty quiet as of late, especially since the second season just finished airing, but... still! xD;

Why have you been saying that you hate ponys in other threads if you haven't even watched the series yet

Hacks I'm working on:
Pokemon Sapphire Hoenn's Rebirth - My own hack, making progress whenever possible.
3rd Gen Multiplayer Project - Research and development, occasionally testing, sometimes with support.
Pokemon Cursed/Creepy White - Group project, on hiatus for now with plans to return eventually.
Animal Crossing Wild World playing as an animal - experimental, messing with models and textures

Hacks I've worked on in the past:
Pokemon Ruby Destiny Broken Timeline (pre-reboot) - Assisted with maps
Pokemon HeartGold Prince Boo Edition - Experimental project with three small changes. Made at the request of YouTube LPer PrinceBoo21.

Been super busy with work, life, and laptop problems. Hopefully I can get back into it soon, I fear I'm already rusty. Meanwhile I'm considering writing some of my hacks as a series of fanfics.

It would be odd for the show to not take place in Ponyville after all this time. I can't seem to imagine where else it would take place. And why would they just leave Ponyville? Doesn't seem to make sense, but if the rumors are true then it will all be explained in s3 episode 1.
